Details

There are currently five generations in the workforce, and employers faced with mass retirements of baby boomers are looking for ways to prepare for the changes that will result. This one-day workshop examines the history and reality of the generation gap as an issue.

Whether defining the actual limits of each generation is really important, or the merits of people within the context of employment, is the bigger issue that is explored. Understanding others helps us to understand ourselves and to manage the people that we work with. Problems, solutions, and strategies are explored to help overcome issues of the generation gap.

Specific learning objectives include:

Develop understanding of where the generation gap issue surfaces, and the impact it has on the modern workforce

Understand and apply language that is specific to each generation currently in the workplace

Explore organization strategies that overcome gap issues

Evaluate the need and effectiveness of recruiting, retention and succession plans in context of the generation gap
